Hibernation...

 ... time by the sea...

*

Outside of turmoil...

...there is always a polarity

of total tranquility,

and today is overwhelmingly so...

*  

Peace in calamity...

In all the daily drama of tragedy, 

there is also light and peace in the village of Molivos,

where all the locals are crouching in uncertainty...

*

Where to sit and where to go...

...sometimes I feel at random with myself,

sort of wondering which chair to choose,

looking for perspective on where I am,

finding breathing space at Mersiniótisa monastery,

where time seems to take a break ...

*

Dusk, night watch and au revoir...

...it is all a bit emotional,

when seeing the last light of the day leave,

but feeling protected in the night

by The Guard of the Night,

and really deep sadness, 

when somebody close has to leave,

while the sun rises over the sea...

*

Idle days...

...I do take my time to rehab,

both body and soul,

in spite of a messy world all around,

full of love, prejudice and ignorance...

*

From shore to shore...

...islands of archipelago,

winds over naked skerries,

fishing-boats and ships passing by,

different shores, same water...

*
